A CD of horn and piano music written by horn players. The recording is ready, please support the release.
Hello everyone,
I would like to introduce you to the Hornscapes project. This project began during my doctoral research, where I focused on idiomatic writing for the horn, based on a collection of new works composed by horn players. During this period, I gave three recitals, each lasting one hour, always accompanied by the pianist Isolda Crespi. We even considered the possibility of recording a CD.
In 2022, I was a featured guest at the International Horn Symposium, and after the recital, I received an invitation to record a CD that would be part of the Ring of Engelbert Schmid Horn Soloists. It is a great honor for me to be part of this collection of recordings.
Now, the time has come to share with you some fantastic works for horn and Wagner tuba, composed by Fernando Morais, Kerry Turner, Emma Gregan, and Jeffrey Agrell, as well as a few of my own compositions. As the name suggests, Hornscapes is a journey through the different soundscapes of the horn.
The CD is ready, and this crowdfunding campaign aims to help cover part of the investment and the costs associated with the release of the work. Additionally, those who support this project will be able to acquire the CD signed by both performers at a promotional price, with free shipping within Portugal (an additional €5 for international shipping).
Thank you in advance for your support, and as I always say: have fun playing the horn!
